**smokin smokey** · 03-15-2007 05:03 PM

Good day everyone, I have in my hands what someone told me is a mosin nagant. however on this site and the MN website I cant track this model down.The markings read as follows New England icon

/ Westinghouse company / 1915 no 825336
Ive never fired this piece as I'm not sure of its strength.

other than the fact that a 7.62*54R chambers easily I know nothing at all.

It was given to me by an elderly gent after I had bought some other guns from him, and even he wasnt sure of its origin

any help would be appreciated,

smoin smokey

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It's a Mosin Nagant M91 long rifle made in the USA icon

by New England icon

Westinghouse under contract for the Tsar (Nicholas II).

If it's in good order, it's perfecty safe to fire these old war horses

The U.S. 91's are getting silly money in these parts. They are supposed to be some of the highest quality made, but, I don't own one to say for sure, wanta trade?-SDH

There is a VERY large price difference dependin if it's a US issued Mosin or if it's a Finn capture/rework.

Maybe you can post some pics of the markigns?
